Orius Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Where did you guys learn the language Lua? I've been reading the 5.3 reference manual, but i'm worried that it is not a reliable source; it is a few years old, and I'm not sure how recently the syntax was updated. Thanks for the input. Here's the reference manual in case you want to check for relevance: https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcore Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I am also just starting to study LUA. After a bit of research I decided to go with the IDE zerobrane. Here are links to the resources i have found helpful so far. https://studio.zerobrane.com/ http://lua-users.org/wiki/TutorialDirectory I also bought these 2 books : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0470069171/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1789343224/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hope this helps: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that i have watched a few vids/tutorials and started to get an idea of how to implement lua. I just watched this Vid and used the link invideo to get the game script and play around with it in ZeroBrane . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenfox Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 As mentioned with another guy. https://www.eclipse.org/ldt/ Good software to use. And the latest book is: Programming in Lua fourth edition, by the original creator of LUA. Roberto Ierusalimschy. The old stuff is still applicable. New LUA just has a few extra functions and life improvements. Outside of that. I suggest using google to look for things, there's a full stream of free and well written teaching materials out there.
